In the various elections.the past week
practicably everything went Democratic.
Thx commissioners are going: to have
some improvements made on the court
house.
With a strong civic league in Louisburg
there is no doubt but that many
thingB could be made better.
Wjb have seen the time wneu Louisberg
could point its finger at other
places for their immorality, but?
Somb people persist in keeping the
senatorial question going. In this we
might apply "if time was money we'd
be millionaires." There is plenty of
time to decide this question.
We take pleasure in inlorming the
people of Louisburg that the "City
Fathfere" have turned the old tax books
over to the new collectors with iastruc>
tiens to collect same.
Tukrb are only two more weeks for
you to assist your favorite contestant
to win the piano. If you are really m
earnest, you should become interested

Booker T. Washington lost his suit
against Ulrich for ah assault, which
took place in New "iork some time in
March, the past week. Ulrich was dis

Its strange to us to see how people
who havecsons and daughters to raise
in Louixburg will sit around and appear
as blind about the matters existing
here as they do.
la this issue we publish the protest
f the Attorney 's-General to the American
Tobacco Co., plan. The farmers
of the tobacco section are indebted to
Hon. T. W. Bickett Attorney General
for this action.
The people in the tobacco-growing
sections feel that if Wickersham took
as weak a position as he did with the
actions of the Attorneys-General to
biace him up, there is no telling what
kind of a lav down he might have made
if everybody h. d kept hands off.
We notice that the News-observer
suggests that if Wickersham is really
in earnest about prosecuting the trusts
to get District Attorney Holton to assist
him. We are at present unable to
, state just wbo the Old Reliable intended
for the reflections to rest upon.
- The Chinese regular troops seem to
have no humanitarian spirit whatever.
The reports say they set fire to the city
of Hankow and have killed 50.000 peo- I
pie, including both women and children.!
If other nations are entitled to interfere
for any cause, this seems to be one that
should be most important.
Thhke is entirely too much "you
tickle me and I tickle you" principle
applied in Louisburg, This principle is

it there, but when it gets to the point
that it aCecta matters wherein a prin-1
ciple is involved, it is time for it to be I
turned loose.
From what we can learn there is
above $2,000 due the town on 1908,
1909 and 1910 taxes. In this matter
the Town Commissioners are to be congratulated
upon their decision to have
these collected. They recognize the
fact that it is not jnst to make some
pay and let others alone. It seems to
be the plans now that m each case
where the tax payers fail to pay they
will proceed to collect same by law.
' Let./ everybody rally to their support
ana uphold them in this decision.
WE TIP 008 HATS TO THEM.
, For many months we have watched
with especial interest the movements
of the manv societies of the Women's
Betterment Associations in 'Franklin
county. During this time we have had
occasion to publish to the world many
of their plans and achievements, and
with the places that are so lucky as to
have an association of this kind it hsa
proven to be a "live wire" and entirely
rid of.all that pretends to experiments.
Ia Bunn, Pilot and many other places
it has worked wonders in the improvement
of schools and churchs# and other
Ejh public institutions Especially bsWe we
Hi paid attention to the achievements of
the one In onr sister town of FranklinHEu
ten. Hers the Association reaches oct
and takes an especial interest in all pubIk
matters. Among the last of its
jfc j movements k one to beautify their cemetery.
They have recently osoaed a tel^r-ephooe

the existence of an organisation of this
kind oss assisted wonderfully in keeping
aw and order. They have established
a public library and done scores of
other things to their credit. It will be
remembered that these associations are
composed mostly of ladies and to them
is due the credit for the work. Any
town with such ntble women doing such
a noble work should feel prood of them,
as they have an asset that is far more
reaching than any laws they can make.
Therefore we feel like taking our hats
off to the ladies engaggd in such work.
Such a movement as this could be
used to great advantage in Louisburg
There are many things here that need
the attention of some one, and that apparently
never attract the attention of
our citizenship. A glance at our cemetery
is sufficient to cause any resident
of Louisburg to hang his head in shame.
There are none of our churches but
that some improvement could be made,
and there is or will be need for something
at our schools. A most important
feature would be the creating a spirit
for a cleaner town, and where has Louisburg
a library that is open to the
public. See the interest that ha? been
shown in our Confederate Monument,
the improvements in properly and conditions.
Can any one doubt but that
an organization of the ladies here would
be one of the greatest institutions we
could have?
Such an organization was spoken of
to the editor some time ago, but as we
have heard nor seen nothing more of it,
we must, with much regret, feel that
it has been dropped. We hope, bowever,
we are mistaken, and can have
the nlMunint ft# ftft?ftii,? |a
the many creditable things they will do .
in the immediate future.

company. The necessary, and doubt- *
less sought for, result of distributing
the holdings of each individual among 1
a large number of companies would be ?
to render indifferent the five thousand

But if the difficulties in the wav o? a a
real dissolution of the combination and '
a real destruction of the monopoly are c
so great that they cannot be overcome, t
then let there be a candid confession of
that fact, and let the Supreme Court 8
make such further orders, as indicated *
in iu opinion, that the exigencies of the c
situation may require. The present f
status is more tolerable than the plan '
proposed by the trust; for if this plan s
shall receive judicial sanction, hencefor- c
ward the trust will carry the law as an
asset instead of a liability, hencefor- a
ward the trust will do in the name of u
the law what it has heretofore done in
its fear. If the law is powerless to t
save, it can at least refuse to sanction t
evil.
All of which is respectfully submitted "
for the consideration of this Honorable 11
